Whether you are being abused or you know somebody being mistreated, NEVER blame the victim. And never blame yourself. No one deserves to be put down and hurt no matter what they said or did. An abusive person is accountable for their actions – what they are doing is wrong and some of their tactics are against the law. Abuse is NOT a sign of love.

Safer Families...Safer Communities
Am I a Victim of Family Violence? Have you heard people say “Family violence – I know it’s a problem but not in my community” Well, think again… because it is happening in too many homes and communities
No one deserves to be abused! Financial assistance for this initiative was provided by the Women’s Program Community Fund, Status of Women Canada.
